Except generally developers don't know what needs patching until after people play it.

Once the game goes gold, as far as they know it's perfect.

I really, really disagree with this.

Unless it's an infrequent or insignificant bug, developers know about it.


Bugs are covered by coders, not by graphics artists or animators.  Those people don't really have anything to do even as early as beta.  They usually get jobs like advertising and maybe touching up the odd graphics.  Tell me, exactly where are coders in DLC?  They are the people who fix bugs, and allow new effects to take place.  For instance, if they want to add a weapons maintenance feature to a game, that would be DLC that a coder is responsible for.  A change of outfit is one that graphics artists are responsible for.
